    Water addition question - soft Scottish water

    What about the advanced one on this site? Seems to take in bicarbonate as you say and from my point of view, its easy to use Mash Chemistry and Brewing Water Calculator - Brewer's Friend

    OK, that's good then, will go with this for my next brew and see how it goes. Thinking of something basic, 95%pale, 5% carapils. Tiny bit of bittering with magnum then loads of whirlpool at 75 degrees. Wondering whether to even drop the dry hop and chuck it all in the whirlpool? I bought a...

    Im having problems getting a good pale ale brew - they all tend to come out tasting the same, soft, fruity but nothing more than that, I mean you would be hard pressed to even say what hops were in it! I have been using an Excel spreadsheet calc that somebody added my water report into a few...

    Getting gas into fridge

    So... I had a look and there is no drain hole in this fridge :-( Back to the drawing board! Also, the side of the fridge has a vent inside the fridge and Im wondering if this means there are cooling pipes on the side as well?
